Agile Project Manager

• Agile Methodology Expertise -  Strong knowledge of Agile frameworks like AgilePM, PRINCE2 Agile, Scrum, and Kanban.
• Project Planning & Adaptability – Ability to balance Agile flexibility with project timelines and business objectives.
• Risk Management & Issue Resolution – Identifying risks early and enabling teams to proactively address challenges.
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement – Facilitating communication between teams, executives, and customers.
• Metrics & Continuous Improvement – Using Agile metrics to drive efficiency and iterative progress.
• Leadership & Servant Leadership – Leading by empowering teams rather than dictating tasks.
• Backlog & Delivery Oversight – Working with Product Owners to prioritise work and maintain delivery flow.

Agile Project Managers are essential in environments where adaptability, collaboration, and incremental value delivery are priorities. They ensure that Agile teams stay focused, remove blockers, and continuously improve.

Without them, organisations may struggle with misalignment, inefficient processes, and resistance to Agile adoption.

• Ensuring effective and timely communication with project governance authorities (Business Sponsor, project board, steering committee, etc.) and stakeholders with appropriate and agreed frequency and formality.
• Collaborating project-wide to evolve and enact high-level project plans and schedules, but not the detailed planning—that is the responsibility of self-organising teams.
• Monitoring progress against the baselined Delivery Plan.
• Identifying and owning risks associated with project delivery, including project organisation, schedule, and internal and external dependencies.
